Environmental Education “Should go Further”

This paper examines the more proactive role which the revised guidelines in Environmental Studies 5-14 give to Education for Sustainable Development and identifies the practical implications for primary schools. In a case study context, it documents how a team of researchers worked with a school’s teaching staff to help them interpret, plan and implement environmental learning more effectively. The experience of working with the staff has enabled useful conclusions to be drawn about practical and successful Ways forward for the implementation of Education for Sustainable Development in Scottish primary classrooms.
